We conduct a wide range of sporting activities including Football, Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Self-Defence Classes for rehabilitation as well as encouraging community spirit. The activities help to encourage focus and purpose whilst building confidence and self-esteem.
We carry out workshops and presentations to help prevent sexual grooming and substance abuse.
We have a dedicated team consisting of professionals to intervene in sexual grooming and addiction.
We provide rehabilitation programs for victims of sexual grooming and addicts with a support team.
The Sikh Youth UK has been supporting victims of sexual grooming for the last five years. However, our team comprises of professionals and volunteers who have over 15 years experience each. We tackle sexual grooming via a three tier approach; prevention, intervention and rehabilitation. Our intervention and rehabilitation teams consist of Counsellors, Psychologists, Social Workers and Dr’s. We have developed our own rehabilitation system, which includes prayer and meditation to help victims who have suffered from such trauma.
